The Fate that is Overlooked
42
..."And We will certainly test you with a little fear, hunger, lack of treasure, soul, and fruit. And give glad tidings to those who are patient, (i.e.,) those who, when they are stricken with calamity, say "Inna lillahi wa inna ilaihi raji'un" (we belong to Allah and to Him we return)."...
...(.(.QS. Al-Baqarah 2: Verses 155 - 156)...
The doctor came out of the IGD room, making Ajeng and the Holy Mother who had been waiting with anxious expectation immediately stand up to welcome him.
"How's my mom doing Doc? " Ajeng immediately asked.
"Your mother had a stroke. Lack of blood flow to the brain. The possibility that often occurs in stroke patients is the presence of a mild stroke or transient ischaemic attack (TIA). People who experience a TIA on their own usually feel weakness, numbness, or sudden paralysis on one side of the limb."
"Later my team will check thoroughly about what your mother feels. And about those complaints generally improve within 24 hours, although it needs to be examined further if it lasts more than that." The long doctor.
"Is it something to do with him falling in the bathroom? " Now the Holy Mother asked, while Ajeng immediately hugged his mother while crying sobbing.
"Talking about the relationship between slipping in the bathroom and stroke, there is actually no direct correlation between the two things. Medically, the two are not related.
“Lestroyed in bathroom does not trigger stroke. But people who have a high risk of falling also often have risk factors for stroke, for example in people with obesity and the elderly,” he continued.
"Will he be healed? recovering as before? "
"We just pray, Mother, may in Mother Sukma be given a cure, but also need to be made improvements in lifestyle and body health, no need to worry, stroke can be slowed by doing therapy as early as possible and proper treatment.
" While it used to be Mother, later if the condition of Mother Sukma has stabilized, our nurses will move her to the treatment room."
Ajeng still sobbing in his mother's arms.
"Ssttt is calm" Mama Suci tried to calm her daughter, directing her to sit back.
"Patience, this is all the trials of the living. There's no need to be afraid. Trust me, everything's gonna be fine" Swabbing her daughter's arm, occasionally peeping at her son's head.
"Now, try calling Anita, Barata or Mbak Runti. Talk to them if you bring me here. " Sacred Mother gives advice.
At that time they brought Bu Sukma, the house was empty. Do not know where Mbok War and Pak Anto where. With great difficulty to the four women, Ajeng, Mama Suci, Bu Ria and Bu Efi moved Sukma's mother into the car, with lightning fast Ajeng took Sukma Mother to the nearest hospital to get help immediately. No matter what is left behind. There is a point, however, they are the closest people to Bu Sukma, and they are the ones who are entitled to Mother Sukma more than her.
Ajeng grabbed his phone, looking for the number Mbak Runti, but unfortunately his phone is not active. While he has no contact Barata or Anita. He quit the family messaging app group, after several times weighing about its benefits and mudarot. And in the end he really took off one by one related to the family of Bu Sukma.
Buty? why is he trapped in this family's maelstrom?
He took a long breath.
"Preferably Ajeng went home first to Mother's house, to tell the house people that Mom entered the hospital. Mbok War must be worried too. " Ajeng took off his mother's arms.
"Wouldn't it be on the phone? " Sacred Mother gives advice.
"Everyone Ajeng wants to take Mother Ma's equipment, just for a moment. Yea? "
With a heavy heart, the Holy Mother finally gave up her son to return to the house of Mother Sukma. While his two colleagues, Bu Agus and Bu Efi are still waiting in the waiting room outside. Not allowed to enter by the officer, because the maximum patient wait is only 2 people.
Before Ajeng left, Ajeng took the time to see the state of Bu Sukma first. The tired face looks very peaceful in his deep sleep.
"Recover quickly Ma'am" he muttered softly while grasping his left hand that was not fitted with the infusion.
"Ajeng longs" peeked at the back of the hand which now looks so much wrinkles on his fingers.
"So soon realize yes, Ajeng go home first take Mother's things, Ajeng will come back here again yes"
He kissed Sukma's mother's forehead, before completely abandoning her.
"Jeng go first huh? " approaching Mama who is focusing on her phone.
"Yes, be careful.. This Mama is in the news with the Father, afraid that later the kesorean until home.
" Yes already in further, Ajeng stay bentar yes, later we go home together. " Ajeng grabbed his mother's hand, kissed the back of her hand.
"Asalamualaikum" Go away from the IGD waiting room.
Walk through the side door, take the nearest road to the car park. Coincidentally, the distance between Mother Sukma's house and the hospital is not too far. Not until 15 minutes, Ajeng car arrived at the courtyard of Mother Sukma's house.
"Asalamualaikum" Ajeng entered the house without hesitation, different this time there was a voice greeting from the direction of the kitchen.
"Walaikumsalam" Mbok War who was shocked to see Ajeng with his new appearance immediately shouted hysterically, hugging Ajeng tightly
"Mbak Ajeng? niki panjengan? MashaAllah Ma'am,
deneng dadi ayu temen kados. Yes Allah Ma'am" Mbok War hugged Ajeng tightly. (Mbak Ajeng? this you? MashaAllah Ma'am, how come you're so beautiful like this?
The last meeting with Mbok War was, as he vented his heart, as sad as it was. When I left my mother's house. Bright expression mbok War excited, like seeing a lover of the old heart never found.
The teacher just smiled.
"Where did you come from? lonely house. " Ajeng asked calmly. Trying calm. Covering up all the bumps that exist. His heart was eager to scream.
"Mbok was told to shop at the Yogi Shop, accompanied by Mr. Anto, I wanted to eat Moonrise bananas, he said, all shopping for kitchen needs. But the cashier queued once. Been long. Come home Mom, uh nothing" Mbok War explained.
"Mother must be very seneng if you know panjenengan here Mbak"
"Mother has 2 days Ma'am, teng ndalem continues. Sultry"
Mbok War continued to tell stories, telling the situation of Ibu Sukma who 2 days at home continues because of illness.
"Mother is now in Mbok hospital" Ajeng firmly told Mbok War.
"Inalallahi, Achaghfirullah, Subhanallah"
"Yes Allah wrestling prince, sepurane I ora can ngopeni Mother, " (Yes Allah wrestling prince, forgive me can not take care of Mother).
"Pripun bisane teng griya is sick? " (how can I be in the hospital? ) His guilty face is very noticeable.
"Mother, I found out that she had fallen in the bathroom and I had a Mbok stroke" Ajeng breathed heavily, while Mbok War was already crying in front of her.
"Ajeng wants to take Mother's equipment, can Mbok War help? Ajeng wants to contact Mbak Runti with Barata"
"InshaAllah I'm fine Mbok, don't worry too much" Swabbed Mbok War's arm, as his mother had treated him while in the hospital.
Sometimes small attention is needed when things are critical like this.
Mbok War could only nod, wiping his eyes which still shed tears.
"Mbok prepare the first needs of Mother" Passed away from Ajeng who now also walked to the home phone plane, which was in the corner of the room.
Open the phone book, search for the name that has become the main target. That's Mbak Runti.
Mbak Runti's cell phone number is still not active, thought to call Anita, but there is no Anita name in the home phone book, maybe I forgot to put the number into the phone book.
The final option is Barata. Inevitably he had to call Barata.
"Bismilbornrahmanirrahim" Pressing the phone number with a pounding heart.
"It's not time to engage Jeng's feelings. Focus. For Mother's sake" she said to calm her heart.
The voice of the connection was heard, but there was no reply from the other side, until the connection was severed by itself.
"Maybe he's busy" muttered to himself.
"try again? "
"But fear is disturbing"
Ajeng weighed in with a gamang, until shortly afterwards, the sound of the house phone suddenly shocked him.
"Ya Mbok Pripun" Just as he lifted her up, said the greeting still hanging in his mouth, the heavy voice was heard filling his ears. It crept down to his heart, making his heart beat fast uncomfortable.
"Asalamualaikum" Finally with a mouth that was suddenly confused, smoothly can say hello.
Silent.
"You? " The voice asked like a shock.
"Are you busy? sorry distracting. " Ajeng did not answer Barata's greeting.
"Say, what's wrong? "
His straightforward voice and to the point from him made him even more nervous.
"I. Mom went to the hospital. Runti's mama's phone can't be reached, so I called. "
"Can you please call Mbok War? "
"Yes" involuntarily, he exhaled a heavy breath. I don't know what's on Ajeng's mind.
He passed, after putting the phone handle on the table. Walk to Mother Sukma's room to approach Mbok War.
"Mbok" called.
"Sign Mbak, as soon as possible" he said, explaining that soon everything was finished.
"Ajeng mawon, Barata bade mature kalih Mbok War" Walk towards mbok War to continue Mbok War activities.
(Jeng alone, Barata wants to talk to Mbok War).
Ajeng took over Mbok War's job, without any more thought and reluctant to guess what they were talking about. Take time so they can talk without being disturbed.
After thinking nothing was left behind, Ajeng came out of Mother Sukma's room with a bag that was not so big. While Mbok War looks still listening to the words of his interlocutors from across.
"See, I understand, Nggih.. Not ready.. Scuttle... Nagging"
Just the word yes... Yesaa said from the mouth of Mbok War, do not know what advice Barata gave to Mbok War until mbok War answered Yes with all his heart.
"Mbok, Ajeng said yes? " with just a gesture Ajeng's lips coded Mbok War, who just happened to be staring at him.
"Sekedap Mbak" Mbok War shouted. Ask him to wait.
"Bara bade matur" (Mas Bara wants to talk) Handed the phone algae to him which was a distance still so far from where he stood.
Especially???
